Make money by completing online tasks

There are many of these sites out there and they truly can become tiresome. The aim is to complete various offers or surveys and earn either money or vouchers. There are three sites that I have joined listed below and included is my personal experience.

Earn £300+ sounds good right? Again, this is my personal experience as a member and it wasn't a good one. First of all here are the basics:
 20 Cogs is a really simple way of earning some easy money from the comfort of your home, or on your mobile on the move.
· You will be presented with various offers, from surveys and competitions to free trials and site registrations.
. Every Cog has alternative offers to choose from, complete just one offer from each cog and you'll be able to profit from every single offer you successfully complete.
· When you complete a cog as instructed, the status will change to amber (pending). Please give us some time to update the status, sometimes this can take 24 hours.
· Once in pending, our advertisers will then check if you have completed the offer correctly. When the advertiser has confirmed you have fully completed the offer, it will change from amber (pending) to green (confirmed).
. When all 20 Cogs have turned green a claim button will appear and you will be able to request payment to your BACS or Paypal account and you will have the earnings in your account within a couple of days!
. You can also earn extra money, simply refer your friends and earn 5% of everything they earn forever!
Most of the offers were things I had no interest in and had a one pound fee just for signing up to the trial. I chose one that didn't have a joining fee as the rest had stated and yet, I was still charged a pound in my bank! Not only that, the cog never turned green even after waiting out the supposedly free trial. Another offer I signed up to led me to a site called Play lottery.com and as part of the offer I had to play a pound and then got entered straight into a £11.99 weekly subscription which was due out of my bank account the next day! The only way to cancel was over the phone and it was out of hours!! Luckily I contacted them first thing in the morning and it was cancelled before any money could be taken and it didn't end there, my bank card had actually been blocked! I had to contact the bank who told me it was because of that site, they thought someone had used my details to join.
Let's just say I discontinued use of 20 cogs after that and really can't comment as to whether you actually earn anything but after my experience I wasn't willing to risk it! Feel free to comment otherwise at the end of the post, I'm always interested in hearing from real people who have succeeded or even had a similar experience to mine.
